THE DEDICATION OF ST. PAUL'S
CHAPEL.

On Sunday afternoon at three O'Clock
a large congregation assembled in the
new chapel of st. Paul's Church, to at
tend the services of dedication. 1t was
a happy and enthusiastic body of peo-
pie completely filling the room, whose
capacity was thus early tested to its
utmost. We append the excellent re-
port made by the Inter-Ocean of this city:
Sunday mornings service was the
last in the old st. Paul's Church on
Michigan avenue, and the congrega-
ton will hereafter worship in the Sun
day-school room until the main build
ing be completed. The platform was
handsomely decorated with flowers and
ported plants when the Superintendent,
Mr.. G. l.. Hutchinson, rang the bell
and quieted the large audience which
had gathered. After an invocation by
the pastor, the Rev. j. Coleman Adams,
and singing by the Sunday school, a
special service for opening new school
was read in turn by the Superintendent
and the scholars. Before pronouneing
the sentences of dedication, Pastor
Adams announced that two gentlemen
of the church, always foremost in good
works, whose names are known all over
the city, had made gift of the entire
building-Mr. Charles L. Hutchinson,
president of the Corn Exchange Bank,
and Mr.. Harlow n. HiginbOtham, of
Marshal Field s. Co. The dedicatory
sentences were then said, and the prayer
was pronounced by James H. Swan.
After singing by the school, the Rev.
DR.. W. II. Ryder spoke of Sabbath OBJ
servance and the Sunday-school, and
was followed by the Rev. C. S. Nicker-
son, of; the Church of Our Father, who
brought the greetings OF his people.

will each year extend your aid to others
who have been less fortunate. / have a
notion of my own about giving each year,
and in fact almost every day as 1 pass
along. 1 feel that 1 may not be here
next year and I want to do all I can now
I have a notion that the richest inheri-
lance can leave those love, is a name
made fragrant by kind words and deeds,
and acts Of charity. And then, too, I find
that the more of others woes and sorrows
l try to alleviate and the more of others
burdens 1 try to carry, the lighter my
own become, and in fact I sometimes
forget that my own life is not all SUM-
shine
To these children I wish to say that I
hope their young lives may grow and
and develop into beautiful Christian
characters that will bless and carry SUM-
shine and gladness into myriad homes
that may in their turn reflect your beauty
and goodness, and convey it to unnum-
bered homes and lives.

Mr.. Oliver G. Ashton, of Bryan, o.,
now enrolls himself among the honored

endowment of an Oratorical Prize Fund
of $4,000. BY the conditions of the
donation of this fund, the annual in
come of $1,000 is assigned to each of
the three highest classes of Buchtel
College, for the establishment Of prizes
in oratory. Two prizes are to be offered
to each class, the first prize being double
the amount of the second. 1t is pro-
vided that the contests shall take place
during Commencement week, and that
the faculty shall select for the same five
unprejudiced judges.
Mr.. Ashton agrees to pay the So 900
within three years from last May.
During the College year 1SS7-1SSS, he
will pay the interest on $1,000 at
six per cent, as prize for the present
senior class. Next year he will pay the
interest on $1,000, as prizes for the
senior and junior classes of that year {;
and on the year following, the inter
est on So 900, as prizes for the SEN
Tor, junior, and sophomore classes.
After this, the entire amount of the
fund will be invested to furnish per-
petual prize fund for the three classes.
The offer of this fund was received
by President Cone, Wednesday evening,
the 18th inst, and on Thursday even
ing the Executive Committee met at
Mr.. Buchtel's residence and accepted
the donation under the judiciOus cOndi-
lions prescribed by Mr.. Ashton, send
ing him on behalf of the Board of Trus-
tees of the College, grateful acknowl-
edgment of his generous gift.
The department of elocution which
is under the charge of Prof. Mariner,
of the Philadelphia National School of
Oratory, will be greatly helped and en-
couraged by this timely gift.
Mr.. Ashton has set fine example for
the friends of education and Of Buch-
tel College. We are sure there is room
